We have a couple ceph clusters.

If my systems guys are telling me the truth is it a real time sink to run and can require an awful lot of babysitting at times.

IMO this is the problem with all storage clusters that you run yourself, not just Ceph. Ultimately, keeping data alive through instance failures is just a lot of maintenance that needs to happen (even with automation).

I admin'd a cluster about 10 years back and it was 'ok' then, around bluestore. One issue was definitely my mistake but it wasn't all that bad.
